If J.K. Rowling had not set up Beira’s Place, female survivors of sexual abuse in Scotland’s capital city would not have a safe space to seek support. Women’s needs were sacrificed in the name of gender identity, a policy pursued doggedly by Nicola Sturgeon and delivered by her

Sandy Brindley of Rape Crisis Scotland and others in the sector cannot evade their responsibility for the damage done to Scotland’s services for survivors of MWAWG. In The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht a survivor tells of how she was ignored by so called experts and Brindley told
